Description

Retro is not a compilation of previously released games, but eight remakes of retro arcade hits with enhanced graphics and sounds. Although some details change (Gobbler's mazes are not the same as Pac-Man ones, Hopper's view is isometric) the gameplay is the same. Reading between the lines :

Bounce'n Break is Breakout

Bubble Puzzle is Bust-A-Move

Gobbler is Pac-Man

Hopper is Frogger

Laser Command is Missile Command

Light Racer is Tron

Roids is Asteroids

Space Raiders is Space Invaders

As for the arcade versions, you can select a one or two players game, and the best of them will have their initials displayed in a high score table. You cannot select a difficulty level since it increases automatically as you progress through the levels.
